| 14th May 2007 Mum | fairground - From: Yes, you read right.... Can't beat a bit of English "culture" Sad to think that the locals might think we are all like that!!! Glad to see the 'blog'up and running again. |

| 28th March 2007 Emma | bloody rude aren't they? - From: Two bars of chocolate and a carton of half fat milk Your entry made me laugh. I am sick to death of being asked, 'teacher are you having a baby?' 'teacher, why is your face red?' after sunning myself in Haeundae on Sunday. The thing is, I wouldnt say I was fat, a 'curvy' size 12 is ok, isnt it? Obviously not! Wll I blame them for feeding me carbs everyday with everything, never before have i eaten so much rice! Blunt and no tact what so ever seems to be the way here. Anyway, fancied getting my hair cut but after last times mullett episode in semoyeon I dont want to risk it. I did spot a plush looking Wella/Loreal salon in your neck of the woods, do you know if its any good? |

Sorry lex meant to rell you Big G had lost your current address-all those squiggles and short words ,so he sent 200 red roses here.Didnt know if they'd survive the journey so sent them to the local old peoples home.Spread a little happiness and all that.Ive dropped Golden balls from my fantasies as well-couldnt wait any longer for his voice to break. Life's a bitch but keep that fab sense of humour it'll last better than any man!!!! |

| 12th February 2007 Clare | - From: The dark underbelly of Korea... Maybe this posting should be entitled the dark, and oft-visited undercarriage of Korea? Just a suggestion - think of it as constructive editorial input - something to get used to now you're publishing! Congrats, Morton. |
| 9th February 2007 Midget | mwah mwah mwah - From: Beomosa Temple and Geumgang Park Similarly I also find the otb photos you send me tipping the balance in favour of the absurd and surreal :) You can't really beat a Shaun covered in Marmite.....xxxxxx |
| 7th February 2007 Clare | - From: Beomosa Temple and Geumgang Park I always find your blog entries the correct balance of factual titbits and anecdotal humour. 10/10. |
| 9th January 2007 Mamma Ciao | Mamma New Year - From: Thank you.... M'Ciao, so now that I have returned to the world of normality I thought it was about time that I put finger to keyboard and wrote a comment on your blog - voila'. I hope you had a great Chrimbo, that your food poisoning episode has duly cleared and that your back on full form. I'm enjoying being a free agent once again after having my life taken over by serial exams... wooooooooooooooooooooooooo! but feeling particularly agrieved that you're not here to drink out body weights in alcohol together, pharp. How was last year's Korean wine harvest anyway? Be good, be safe and be good at it. Tx |

| 2nd January 2007 Clare | You freakin' rock my world! - From: Doyuthinkyusaurus? I know that you weren't entirely all there - but you always make for a fab night out. Unfortunately you didn't make it to Sandinista (your guardians were much too piffed for that), but you were confiscated (stick it to the man, Morton) and you scored 3 boys phone numbers! Much love... |

| 4th December 2006 Jane | - From: Friday Night in Nampodong We think you are very brave Lex re pigs trotters. Also very popular in Ireland,but luckily I managed to avoid them when Ju and I went.Def too much for a 10yr old to cope with!! Perhaps they all have secret feet fetishes?? |
| 30th November 2006 Midget | Well spotted Mr Rozanski... - From: Friday Night in Nampodong ...perhaps oxyfire would be interested in promoting a line of pig trotters products back in the UK -Leeds will never know what hit them! |
| 29th November 2006 Jay Rozanski | Sally so young - From: Friday Night in Nampodong I think the pigs trotters have more secret anti-ageing properties that oil of Olay, don’t you think? |
| 20th November 2006 joanna the traveller too | loving the blog - From: Busan Biennale Part Two not sure if this will work - i'm not use to adding comments only editing them!! been catching up on your travel and adventures and they are looking fantastic - you are putting us to shame with your hilarious blogs and funny photos. i keep trying to get james to dress up as Captain Light, malay warriors and strawberries (influenced by the Cameron Highlands) but to no avail...grumpy sod. i promise to make a muppet of myself to liven up our blogs in the future!they are so lacking in style! anyway, hope you are enjoying the teaching, it looks like you are. i'm getting envious even though i'm gallavanting around asia as we speak too, must be lovely to be doing something so fulfiling and having pupils that really appreciate your teaching? you may have inspired a joann-goes-teaching' trip in the future! that's once i have got off my lazy arse and got a job out here first i so i can make it home next year! It must be nice to be grounded somewhere and have a flat - even one with a garbage-collection problem? (worry not, this is an all over Asian thing from what we have seen and smelt, not just Korea!) anyhow, better hop, bed in hostel number 28 awaits...hope things keep going well honey and give us a shout if you ever need any late night messenger chatting when everyone in england is sleeping, and we are all wide awake in Oz and Korea! lots of love jo (and james!) |

| 29th October 2006 Sarah D | Catching up with technology - From: Alexa Teacher! Hiya chickdee, check me and my bad self using technology, I feel strangely proud!!! Photos look great, looking very studious yourself. I've just got back from a hen night in Dublin (very expensive, particularly vodka) where I lost a dance off because some boring girl wouldn't spin my legs for me whilst I was dancing on my head. If only you were there Lex we would have won hands down. |
| 27th October 2006 Midget | - From: Alexa Teacher! It's really handy actually- knowing that all foreign teachers are incompetents they give everyone an English nickname- I wanted a Korean name cos I felt left out so got christened 'mogey' (mosquito) cos they find me so darn tasty! |

| 23rd September 2006 Midget | - From: Trouble sleeping..... Tis true- any weirdo within a 5 mile radius just gravitates towards me. All I need now is for a stray dog to befriend me and it really will be like home! |

Mnnhh see the family trait of attracting all of the one legged, one cell amoeba's weirdo's is still going strong! I'm pleased to see that you have taken on at least one of my finer qualities! Typing a bit tricky, poured wine into the keyboard, approx 3 weeks ago, and strangeleee its not loving it still. I, Myself thought that was a very generous gesture! Squeak soon love ya lots Jooles x |
